Weirton Regulations
STRs are permitted via the general rental registration/business licensing framework with a low $15 annual license and $20/unit inspections (capped at $500/year). There are no stated caps or citywide bans, and the city provides a clear, straightforward process and contact point. Investor risk is moderate because the regulations frame STRs under standard rental/property maintenance rules and a restrictive B&B definition, but not as outright prohibited.
